INCI: Jojoba oil (and) lauryl dimethicone/polyglycerin-3 crosspolymer
Suggested Use Levels:  1.5-25%
Applications: Face: illuminators, foundations, blushers, BB/CC cream; Lips: liquid lipstain and creams, lipsticks; Eyes: eyeshadows, mascaras, eyeliners; Brows: brow gels and creams
Comments: X-22-6695B is a PEG-free, high shine, organic compatible, self-emulsifying elastomer gel swollen in jojoba oil.  The product is derived from natural ingredients. X-22-6695B can be used alone as a sensory enhancer, a thickening agent for oils and emulsions, or as an emulsifier.  The active elastomer gel has an innovative 3-dimethional structure that the silicone polymer network is crosslinked with non-PEG, polyglycerin groups and additionally with grafted alkyl (C12) groups.  The grafted alkyl groups allow the polymer swell in organic carriers and esters. Jojoba oil carrier further expands the compatibility to include more polar oils.  Like KSG-840, X-22-6695B shares many of the similar features and benefits such as stabilizing high internal phase emulsions with large droplet size, forming quick-water-breaking emulsions to deliver the cream-to-water transforming textures. The high shine nature of X-22-6695B makes it uniquely suitable for high shine lip products both in an anhydrous and an emulsion format.
Additionally, it’s an ideal ingredient for facial illuminators and liquid foundations.
